Activities
The fellow actively participates in frozen section diagnosis, grossing room supervision and surgical
pathology sign-out. Several departmental and inter-departmental conferences afford an opportunity for
interaction with our clinical colleagues. Opportunities also exist for resident and medical student
teaching. A flexible schedule can be arranged for subspecialty electives in gastrointestinal/liver,
genito-urinary, gynecologic, transplantation and renal pathology. The fellow may progress towards a
more independent case sign-out during the program.

quality of these clinical programs is matched by our Surgical pathology unit, which provides state-of-the-art

Full-service immunohistochemistry and molecular cytogenetics laboratories support the surgical pathology activities.
